Performance Report for FY 2009/10 5 NGO and CBO Contribution to implementation of the of the 2009 Joint Sector Undertakings 5.1 Introduction The Joint Sector Review is an annual event that brings together actors in the Water and Environment Sector. CSOs are active participants on this forum. One of outputs of the JSR are the Undertakings; recommendation or actions to be implemented in the following financial year. Where appropriate, civil society organisations in the Water and Sanitation Sector contribute to the implementation of the Undertakings. This chapter therefore presents the contribution of CSOs in the implementation of the Undertakings by outlining activities undertaken and providing case studies that reflect NGO contribution. 5.1.1 Undertaking No. 4: Water Resource Management Catchment based IWRM is operationalised (2009/10) and funds mobilised for the establishment of all Water Management Zones by 2010/11 while building synergies with other regionally based or decentralised sector support structures. IWRM is often not a focus of most NGOs. Deliberate interventions are required to build the capacity of NGOs and CBOs to perform WRM functions. However, there has been a pocket of IWRM related activities by CSOs. These include, community sensitisation on IWRM, translation of IWRM policy briefs to local language, and radio programmes on IWRM policy (Joy Drilling). Also included is; IWRM decentralisation at basin level (PROTOS; see Case Study 5.1); Mpanga River catchment management plan endorsed by the catchment management organisation, as well as improved application of the IWRM principles to protect water sources for both schools and communities (SNV).It also features; protection of water supplies maintaining grass cover around the catchment, advising on farming activities around or near water sources, advising on upstream pollution of protected springs, construction of cattle troughs to reduce human and animal conflict to access water (JESE, FORUD) as well as soil conservation education and tree planting (SOCADIDO). Case Study 5.1 IWRM steps and Pilot projects River Mpanga. Source PROTOS Background In the year 2006 PROTOS, an international NGO with headquarters in Belgium started the roll out of an IWRM program in the Lake George basin. This program was initiated by the gathering of data in and around this basin that was useful to NGOs in the Ugandan Water and Sanitation Sector | 70
Performance Report for FY 2009/10 inform the situation of the catchment. At that time the DWRM was in the process of rolling out pilots on the IWRM in the country; PROTOS then came into partnership with them for coordination and steering the IWRM process. PROTOS further made partnerships with SNV and LAGBIMO as organisations that were already active in the region. From these partnerships key stake holders were brought on board to form a steering committee that sat to choose rivers within the whole catchment that needed intervention. At that point River Mpanga was selected and a water situation analysis for the whole river basin carried out. A stakeholder forum that included most of the sectors of the districts of Kamwenge, Kabarole and Kyenjojo and civil society were then invited. The stakeholders came up with four critical problems that needed intervention, these are: soil erosion, wetland degradation, hydrological monitoring, and pollution. In this meeting a Catchment Management Committee (CMC) and a Technical Team (TT) were formed to take up these issues. The TT has been involved in the drafting of a River Management Plan (RMP) where consultations of different sectors pertaining activities related to River Mpanga were done. The final RMP will be endorsed by the CMC for intervention and reviewed annually. Pilot projects on IWRM Besides playing the technical and capacity building role, PROTOS started to roll out pilots projects of the gaps that remained at the basin level and planning for up scaling. For a year now, PROTOS has carried out school sensitisation with drawing competitions and a river Mpanga protection launch with the aim of awareness creation among children in schools neighbouring Mpanga. These efforts were then consolidated in Kahunga Bunyonyi primary school where Primary six(P.6) pupils were asked to write short essays, poems and dialogues about the situation of River Mpaga on the same selected issues. From these compilations a school IWRM hand book is being worked on to be disseminated in the schools of Kyenjojo, Kamwenge and Kabarole districts as an English training tool. This activity is being up scaled in the Subcounty of Bukuuku Kabarole District where a lot of erosion has been identified and little is being done to mitigate it. Sensitization in schools in Kazingo has been combined with tree growing in the 20 metres from the river banks of willing landlords as an intervention to address the severe river bank erosion. Lessons learnt • Coordination and partnerships bring many stakeholders together in the accomplishment of a common task and leads to a first step in setting a common focus and integrating interventions. 71 | NGOs in the Ugandan Water and Sanitation Sector
